How wide is the largest hole? I have several of the Crayola colored pencils to sharpen regularly Thank you!

I have never used it to sharpen crayola pencils, but believe it would work fine even on the small hole. This pencil sharpener is worth the purchase. The best I have ever owned.

The largest hole seems to be 0.4 inch wide (1.1cm) - I would say in the middle between 0.4 and 0.5. I hope it helps.

We use the smallest hole for our standard colored pencils and the largest one for our chunky colored pencils. Hope that helps!

Not sure how big your pencil is. This sharpener is also good for normal pencil.

I would suggest contacting the Westcott company, they may exchange it for a new one, that's what most companies do. I honestly only use mine at home, so we do not sharpen many pencils. Sorry, hopefully this helps!

The slot to incert the pencil has the diameter of a standard pencil - I'm not sure what size exactly it is, but it is the most common pencil size you see. It probably could sharpen thinner pencils, though I'm not sure how well.

I use the yellow triconderoga pencils without issue. I'm not sure their diameter.

Baumgartens dual hole pencil sharpener is a standard size sharpener. If you can't sharpen your pencil on a standard sharpener Baumgartens will not work either. This is a standard size sharpener.

My students use it to sharpen colored pencils. Just make sure they're regular colored pencils, and not actually pastels, which are much softer and would not sharpen. I'm a teacher, and a lot of my kids have used them for colored pencils with no problem. Mine is now over a year old, and still working beautifully...

It fits larger shaped pencils as well. I have a benefit highlighter pencil that is bigger than your regular pencil and this sharpener works great!

I have a two hole sharpener, but they are narrow like a regular pencil and fit in the smaller hole.

I found one's about the same size at the Dollar Tree. Don't think Crayola sells any that size.

I am an illustrator and have always sharpened my pencils with an x-acto blade. So yes they can hold a long sharp point without breaking off, which shows the quality of the graphite. I would probably have to do a major search of my studio to even find a sharpener.

These are 1" with a hole. I can't take it apart but I did some measurements and it looks like it will be a snug fit, but the whole should fit a standard number 2 pencil. Since they're wood, You could also drill them wider if you need.

Regular colored pencils, yes. Larger or triangular shaped pencils, no. It only sharpens standard pencils and colored pencils but it is the best pencil sharpener I have ever used and I am a teacher and have purchased many pencil sharpeners.

I only sharpen any art pencil the way I learned in art school, I use a very sharp ex-acto knife or #11 scalpels, if I can get them, being careful to bring it to a nice rounded point, then I roll the tip on fine sandpaper. With Inktense or watercolor pencils I don't make a sharp point, but expose enough lead, and kind of round it off, because I do a lot of circular or back-in-forth fill, but I like at least a blunt point so that I can get nice edges in the drawing.

The white hole and the red holes are for sharpening a dull point. Each color is a different length. This is not the same as sharpening the entire pencil, just the lead point. This sharpener was designed for drafters (and the OCD) who need their pencil lead to always be at a point and not rounded.

The sharpener has three holes - large, medium and small. The sharpener is called "School Smart", so would think the largest hole is meant to sharpen the fat school pencils. I use it to sharpen the more expensive colored pencils, but also to sharpen the cheap lead pencils. However, cheap pencils don't sharpen as well as the more expensive ones on any type of sharpener. In my experience with cheaper pencils the lead will break often and the wood doesn't sharpen all the way down the lead point. As for the pencils that are covered with a sort of paper, I haven't used it on this type. Hope this helps!

So far, regular and colored pencils sharpen equally well. No problems so far:)
